Not long after, Old Li had his contacts transferred to a primary school in the county town to teach. I was the only one in the dormitory who stayed there. At night, I sat by myself under the lamp reading a book, in the hall of knowledge of the sages and the sages to talk with, it is also considered a pleasure.
People in the village were all saying that when I was reading by myself under the lamp, there would always be a white fox peeking out of the window. No wonder, while I was reading, I always felt a pair of eyes looking at me from behind my back. Whether those eyes were expectant or eager, I do not know. But I know that books are a way of avoiding evil. "Li Du's essay is here, and the light from it is extremely long." This was exactly what he meant. Perhaps it's these flames that make the white fox stop in her tracks, but in my heart, I still hope to have a beautiful chance encounter with the white fox, and perform a passionate love affair with the human fox.
After a few days, Chen Jun, a small worker friend, moved into the dormitory with me in order to get up early to boil water for the teachers and clean up the office. One night he bought a bottle of sorghum and a can of peanuts, and we drank in the lamplight. We drank and talked. After chatting for a while, he began to reveal the reason he wanted to buy me a drink. It turned out that he had his eyes on the third year's form teacher, Liu, and wanted me to write a love letter for him.
Modern people have probably forgotten about love letters. In this age of QQ, e-mail and text messages, love letters have faded out of sight. The traditional, imaginative and romantic love letters have almost disappeared. In our time, people expressed their feelings in a more reserved way, and even writing love letters was not the kind of explicit statement. Electronic love letters today, no matter how beautiful the text, lack the vivid temperament. Even more frightening, e-love letters can easily be copied and pasted a thousand times over, and then easily deleted without leaving a trace. There were no fingerprints on it, no smell of each other, and no warmth that would cause one's heart to palpitate. I said to my fellow worker, "Love letters should express true feelings and seek truth from facts. First of all, they had to be solemn and not be ambiguous. "It can't be too long, just make it clear what you want to say." I asked my fellow worker to write it first, then I modified it and let him transcribe it himself. This is how his love letter was written --
Respected Teacher Liu:
I take the liberty of writing you this letter, because I have a feeling in my heart that I want to express to you.
You are a dignified girl, your dignity makes me dream; you are a beautiful girl, your beauty makes me palpitate. So at last I found the courage to write you this letter and tell you my heart.
I know you have a culture, and I'm just a workmate who hasn't read many books. This gap often makes me feel inferior, but I will work hard, will treat you well for the rest of my life. Please accept my love, I look forward to falling in love with you!
Chen Junjing
I took a sip of wine, ate a peanut, and said to him, "There's one thing I need to change, and that is the last sentence. The word 'love' I look forward to having a relationship with you should be changed to 'love' because love is not 'love' but 'made'. Chinese characters are the most exquisite, the most accurate and the most beautiful. Chinese characters are full of aesthetic meanings, and a single word is a work of art. The word 'sex' can express both a man's spirit and a man's charm.
Chen Jun also took a sip of his wine and started to chat with me about Chinese characters. He asked, "Which dictionary does China have the most Chinese characters in?"
"It's' Kang Xi Dictionary '. There are 42,174 words in it. The one word with the largest number of strokes is' O ', which is thirty-six strokes."
Chen Jun took another sip of his wine. "Then tell me, who created these Chinese characters?"
"The Chinese characters were created by Cangjie. Before the words were written, people tied a string and carved wood into numbers. Later, the Yellow Emperor asked Cangjie to make words. It is hieroglyphics that the image of different things is drawn to represent this thing. Once, when he was out at the river, he saw a group of people cooking mutton and fish in a three-legged cauldron. He drank some soup and ate some meat, thinking it was very delicious. He left the group, and in a valley filled with wild fruits, he saw a group of women gathering wild fruits. At that time, fierce beasts ran rampant, and at night, the women would build a nest on the tree. The next day, the women began to collect fruit again. The sun was high in the sky, and as they picked wild fruit, they sang, 'The sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me, and the birds say' Morning '... The weather was very hot, so the women took off their clothes and hung them on the fruit tree, picking wild fruit in their bare bottoms. At that moment, the word 'naked' suddenly came to Cang Jie's mind. "
Chen Jun asked again: "There was no paper then, so what did Cang Jie write on it?"
"At the beginning, Yellow Emperor told him to write on the wooden board. He said that the board is too heavy and is inconvenient to carry around, so he was very unhappy."
"That idiot, Zhan Jie, the Yellow Emperor is my direct superior. He didn't advise the Yellow Emperor at all, and now he seems to be much more intelligent than the Yellow Emperor."
I took a swig of wine and went on, "It's not only stupid to appear to be better than your boss, but it also has a lot of negative consequences for yourself. Because no one likes people who attract more attention than they do, and because those who think they are smart are always hated by their superiors, one should learn to hide one's strengths. If one's temperament is better than another's, most people don't care too much, but no one wants to be more intelligent. The secret is also very simple: when you look up at the stars, they shine with their own light, but they do not dare to compete with the sun. "
"Then what did he write?"
"It was written on the shell of a great king. This is the Oracle Bone Text."
As we talked, we all fell asleep on the kang.
The next morning, Chen Jun handed his love letter to Teacher Liu, and so began to wait for a long time. Until Teacher Liu was married, he had yet to receive a response.
One day, I learned the course of "Persuasion for Learning", after the first reading of the text, I said to the whole class: "This is a piece of ancient American text, fluent in language, long in meaning and melody, we had better recite it in full." As soon as his voice fell, the whole class exclaimed in admiration. He was clearly saying, "How can I carry such a long time on my back?"
I didn't say anything. After the exclamation calmed down, I said, "How about this? You guys read the text and listen to what I have to say. If something goes wrong, you have to point it out. " The whole class stopped making a ruckus as they quietly opened the textbook. Persuasion. Xun Zi. Gentleman's Day: You can't learn too much. "Green is blue while blue is blue; ice and water are cold because of it …" The sound of me reciting echoed through the classroom. Many students looked up from time to time, smiling at me. When I recite the last sentence, "There is always a way to cause trouble, and there is always a way to humiliate others. A gentleman should always be cautious!" When the whole class was struck dumb, they couldn't help but shout out, "Awesome!" "That's right, not a single word is wrong." Teacher, how did you learn it? " Actually, I know in my heart that this is nothing. In one breath, I can memorize "Burial Flower" as if it was flowing water.
I looked at the students' envious eyes and felt a sense of pride that I had never felt before. "Students, actually this lesson is not as difficult to memorize as everyone imagined. Although it was a little long, his thoughts were clear and his levels were clear. As long as he memorized them carefully, he would be able to understand them very soon. You are in the golden period of your studies, your memory far surpasses that of your teachers, and you have enough time for two classes. "Are you confident?" "Yes!" The students replied in unison. I immediately said, "Alright! Confidence was half of success! I want to see which one of you can carry it the fastest. "
I continued, "Let's first understand the author, Xun Zi, and then figure out how he wrote. It's much easier to memorize. The students all knew that study was a pass to success, and in the future, everyone would have to go to university to study and get a higher degree. Everyone would think that the university president should be a leading figure in terms of knowledge and character, and that the first 'university president' of our country to have a history should be Xun Zi. In my opinion, Xun Zi is the most talented of all the families. He was at that time the highest academic institution in the country, hosted by the Qi Kingdom, and he had been the highest official there many times. He had won a great reputation and was recognized by the nation as a master of education. From Xun Zi's point of view, studying for a lifetime was something that could not be given up. One had to constantly improve themselves and persevere in order to be able to achieve success. With the progress and development of the times, knowledge is constantly updated, if we do not have the ability to learn, sooner or later we will be eliminated by this society. Xun Zi paid a lot of attention to learning. He had lived to the age of ninety-eight and was a scholar who had lived a long life. It seemed that studying was also a way of life. When a person is fully immersed in learning, his mind is active, his spirit is joyful, his body and mind are good, and he is better than taking medicine. Xunzi had been the main lecturer of the Panji Academy for three times, and after his lectures, he loved to go shopping. At that time, the Qi province of Qi was a large city, bustling with activity. One day, Xun Zi strolled in front of a dyeing shop and saw the waiters unloading their carts. The carts were filled with bundles of grass, so he asked, "What is this?" The waiter told him, 'This is the blue grass. The green robe you're wearing is dyed with it.' Xunzi picked up a blade of blue grass and twirled it between his fingers, saying, 'My fingers are not stained with colour.' The clerk laughed. "Where in the world would you find a plant that could be used directly as a dye?" First, make it into juice. After condensation, it will be called indigo. Indigo is much brighter than blue grass. ' When Xun Zi heard this, he kept nodding his head and went to a workshop to the side, where he saw the carpenter drawing lines with an inkstone. He saw the carpenter pulling the ink-stained thread out of the inkstone, stretching it on the surface of the wooden board, and with a light flick, a straight ink-line appeared on the wooden board, and the carpenter next to him took it and used it to break the wooden board. Xunzi pointed to a piece of curved wood on the ground and asked the carpenter, 'What is this for?' 'These are the teeth that make up the wheel, 'said the carpenter.' Each tooth has a definite curve. Xun Zi then asked, 'Is this kind of natural bending of wood?' The carpenter smiled and said, 'How is that possible? The wood was straight and had to be sawed into sections by size, then baked and bent to the desired curve to hold it in place for a few days before it would not bounce again. 'Where in the world is there a wood that is born to be used as a wheel? ' This time, when he was shopping, Xun Zi was deeply touched. After he came back, he wrote "Persuasion for Study".
After two classes of recitation, most of the students were able to memorize it. I said, "Students, is it hard to memorize?" "It's not hard to memorize!" The faces of the students were brimming with the joy of victory.
"Students, there are many times when difficulties are not as scary as we imagine. When we meet with difficulties for the first time, we often think of it as a mountain. In fact, we have mustered up the courage to climb it in one go." The students nodded in approval.
I did not miss the opportunity to teach: "Students, after the class still need to review, diligent and review, is a good medicine to improve wisdom. If a thing is repeated a hundred thousand times, you are an expert in this area, which is, of course, learning, not the repetition of the mentally ill. So keep repeating, practice makes perfect, one day, you will break your limit, let your wisdom reach a new level. Perhaps you wonder if dull repetition can learn true knowledge, which is true, a process in which no knowledge can be omitted. The acquisition of all profound knowledge begins with this simple, mechanical repetition. Unfortunately, the simpler it was, the easier it was to be suspected and felt that there was a more ingenious way. The more boring it was, the easier it was to get bored and feel that there must be a more convenient trick to it. As a result, many students have not been able to reach the end.
After my guidance and the hard work of the students, the overall grade of the class has improved. From this, I also deeply understand: whose life can be combined with the cause, who found their own best home; who set great goals, who built a monument to life!
